Mexico reportedly plans to ask the U.S. to share part of its coronavirus vaccine supply.

Sources told Reuters that Mexico's president will make the request in a virtual meeting with President Biden Monday. 

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has criticized vaccine distribution as favoring richer countries.

A White House official told Reuters President Biden is open to the idea, but vaccinating Americans will remain his top priority.
